Description

This is not really a bug of the code. This is a feature request on the website. Please move this information to the correct location.

The feature request for the instructions on how to verify the download of the installation files. I am specifically looking for SHA256 hash for the windows installer, keybase_setup_386.exe.

I see that this file is signed with a Digital Signature, but I am not savvy enough to verify this signature independently. I have viewed the details of the Digital Signature, but none of the details match the SHA256 of keybase_setup_386.exe. So either I've got a bad file, or I'm doing something wrong.

Please either listing the SHA256 hashes in a signed text file or some instructions on independent verification of the installer files.

Thank you for the great application!

Research direction

Start at the website's download or installation-verification entry point and inspect how keybase_setup_386.exe is published and signed. No repository file or test is named in the issue. Done means the website provides SHA256 hashes in a signed location or clear independent-verification instructions for installer files.
